Evolutionary Superstar

Although Guo Yiming didn’t want to delay production, there was nothing he could do in the face of force majeure.

The motorized wiring rig malfunctioning incident had given everyone a huge fright, and the actors weren’t in the right state of mind.

Even if Qin Feng didn’t show it, he deserved rest to recover.

As such, Guo Yiming gave everyone three days off, while the film crew investigated their equipment for more evidence of foul play.

Su Xiaoran was the most excited about this unplanned break.

With a three-day break, she could spend more time with Lin Haoren, or even follow him to Beiyang City for a day or two.

"Brother Lin, can we go home together later?" Su Xiaoran asked.

"That’s fine." Lin Haoren agreed, but added, "I didn’t drive, though. We’ll have to call a ride service."

Although he had an e-bike, it simply didn’t have enough power to make a 4-hour round trip between Xinghai Film City and Jinhai City.

Heck, even half the trip couldn’t be certain, not to mention it didn’t have an extra seat.

"No need to call a ride service, Brother Lin. I’ll see if we can use Sister Mu’s company car," Su Xiaoran said.

The distance between Xinghai Film City and Jinhai City was not short, and the MPV was great for comfort during such long trips.

"Alright," Lin Haoren nodded.

"Little Brother, let’s exchange contacts," Qin Feng proactively offered his phone for Lin Haoren to scan his contact details. "I didn’t catch your name yet."

"Alright, Brother Feng. I’m Lin Haoren. You can just call me Haoren," Lin Haoren said.

With Qin Feng as the initiator, the others in the film crew also came forward to exchange contact details with Lin Haoren.

"Xiao Ren, scan mine, too," Guo Yiming said, offering his contact details.

Unexpectedly, Lin Haoren ended up exchanging contacts with the Chief Director. Even Fang Lihua, Xu Minghao, and Luo Zhen offered their contacts, especially Luo Zhen, the Action Director.

Luo Zhen could see that Lin Haoren

Lin Haoren felt like he was in a dream to be noticed by all of these notable figures.

Did he underestimate his appeal? Or had he not finished adjusting to his new self?

Suddenly, Lin Haoren sensed something and looked over.

His eyes immediately made contact with Shen Beichen’s jealous look before the latter quickly pulled their gaze away.

Lin Haoren furrowed his brows.

This Shen Beichen certainly seemed narrow-minded and a source of future troubles.

Was he really involved in his blacklistment from the industry?

Lin Haoren felt angry whenever he thought about this. Yet, upon further thought, he let it go. Without such struggles, he might not have received the system.

’My path is bound to be extraordinary. Why care about petty people?’ He thought to himself.

After feeling better about himself, Lin Haoren quickly pulled up the system prompts he had missed after saving Qin Feng.

Ding!

[You have completed a Hidden Quest: Second Test.]

[You have received Intermediate-Level Gift Pack x1]

[Opening Intermediate-Level Gift Pack x1...]

[Congratulations! You have obtained 25,000 yuan.]

Lin Haoren blinked at the reward.

Of the known rewards he had received from Gift Packs, money rewards could be said to be the least valuable. As such, he was a little disappointed to receive money from an Intermediate-Level Gift Pack.

That said, who would reject free money?

The orphanage back in Lin Village required substantial money to support all the little brothers and sisters. This money could be sent back.

Alas, he had just sent 20,000 yuan back not long ago.

If he sent another 25,000 yuan back within mere days of it, Mother Lin would likely give him an earful. He would need to come up with an appropriate excuse first.

...

Shortly after the actors left the film set, the entire camera department was gathered in one spot, reviewing the take during the motorized wiring rig malfunction.

Gasps of amazement were occasionally made as the group replayed the take over and over.

No matter how they looked at it, Lin Haoren’s rescue was simply too perfect and impressive. It was a pity that it was an NG that couldn’t be used in the official drama.

"What are you all still doing bundling up over there?" Guo Yiming called out, noticing the small commotion.

"Director Guo, we are watching the scene of Lin Haoren catching Teacher Qin," the Camera Operator answered.

"What? It was recorded?"

Guo Yiming’s expression immediately changed to astonishment. He had so many worries due to the incident that he had overlooked this detail.

"Dammit, why didn’t someone mention it to me sooner? Scoot over! Let me have a look!" Guo Yiming demanded.

Not long after, the familiar scene replayed on screen.

Looking at the angle of Qin Feng’s fall, he would have suffered a fatal accident. Just thinking about it made Guo Yiming’s body shudder with trepidation.

Lin Haoren’s timely save was simply a stroke of divine luck.

Hm?

Guo Yiming suddenly wondered how Lin Haoren managed to reach Qin Feng in time. Unless he had foresight, his feat was simply superhuman.

Just as Guo Yiming was thinking about this, the Director of Photography, Xu Minghao, asked, "Do you think three days is enough for Qin Feng to recover, Old Guo?"

"I don’t know, but we can’t afford to extend the break," Guo Yiming sighed.

Their funds were tight, and they were essentially losing money for every delay. After all, the film crew’s salary was different from the actor’s.

"Actually, there’s a way for us to raise a decent amount of funds to alleviate the burden."

Fang Lihua smiled mysteriously, feeling it was a good opportunity to bring up Lin Haoren’s marketing idea.

"Oh? What way?" Guo Yiming became interested.

"Previously, when I was speaking with Xiao Ren, he proposed an impressive plan..."

Fang Lihua slowly recounted Lin Haoren’s closed-loop marketing system bit by bit.

As Guo Yiming listened, his casual, interested expression gradually turned serious. He listened with great attention, and his eyes occasionally sparkled with delight.

Sometimes, he would also frown with concern.

"The idea is great and can solve our funding issue. However, everyone’s time and energy are limited. We might not be able to pull this off. Let’s gather everyone to discuss this. I need to hear everyone’s opinion."

"Sure," Fang Lihua smiled.

Since the plan wasn’t rejected outright, it had a good chance of being accepted.
